OK all, as may recall, my plan was to buy a new rifle this fall, but due to a financial pinch. It has been put off until spring Here is the the thing, NOW Ruger has created a problem for ME I was looking at the M77 Hawkeye All weather. BUT now they added the caliber I'm looking for into there Laminated sporter. Is it personal preference or is there any significance pros to either? Hmmm... synthetic or black laminate?

Wood stocks have a tendency to warp over time and effect the accuracy of the gun. Synthetics do not . Most new guns today have a free floating barrel but I am not sure on Ruger. But, none the less that is why there is such a craze for the synthetics . There is no way around preventing the wood from warping. It is the nature of wood, it will happen over time.

You lucky dog. Just how much did you have to pay Ruger to make the caliber you are looking for. As far as which one to get. That would be an easy decision for me. The one that weighted the less. One gets to be somewhat of a sissy when they get older like me. What caliber are you looking at anyways?

Good luck on whatever you decide. Do they have a .308 by chance?

Hey Jonsey, keep the 300WSM in mind. It's a great round. The more I shoot it and know other people who do, the more I really like it.
